NewJsrser Prohibitionists.

TRENTON, n. j, Sept. S.-A5Cut zoe
leading Prohibitionists Of the state met
in conference here this morning. Speeches
were made in the forenoon snd in the
afternoon platform was adopted, en-
bouying among its utterances that prohi-
bition could not be hoped for from the
leading parties, that the determination OF
liquor is the central idea OF party snd the
only test Of party fealty, and no person
will be nominated or Endorsed by the
Prohibition party as q candidate for Gny
office in any town, county or district in
this state unless such person be an openly
avoWed member of the Prohibition party,
and unless he has wholly separated him
self from all other political parties. We
reaflirm the declaration that all who
work at honest calling are laborers and nc
class can speak for lator. Every species
Of Incidence is to be condemned. Only
lawful and peaceful means should bs
used to redress wrongs. No man has
any right to prevent any other man from
performing honest labor upon his OWL
terms. Universal prohibition by pro-
hibition party is the only method by
which 3 party can suppress the liquor
traffic.

Suit to Broak the VIII of an Eminent
Jurist.
CHICAGO, Ill, Sept, 8.-A sensational
bill was fled in the Superior court to-day
to break the will OF the late eminent
jurist, Judge T. Lyle Dickey of the Fed
eral Circuit court. The value OF the es-
tate does not exceed $50, 900. 1t is in the
prominence of all parties that
the interest lies. According to the
will the widow, Mrs. Beulah Dickey,
was bequeathed the eutire estate. She
was Judge Dickey's second wife. The
complainsntS are his children, all of them
by his first wife. They are j. j. Dickey,
Martha A. Wallace, Charles II Dickey
and Victoria B. Wallace. The court
is asked to carry out the
intention of the deceased, which
is declared to be that the widow receive
one third of the estate as provided for by
law and the residue 60 to the children.
tits said the second marriage proved dis
astrous to him and his children. The
wife is described as having such violent
temper that he was obliged to desert her
for several years. Afterwards she com
PEELED him, how is not stated, to
make the will ignoring his children
Then come the startling charge that when
the Judge was on his deathbed he begged
the presence of lawyers for the purpose Of
making a new will. This boon was de
MED and it is charged that pending the
death of the Judge his wife, for purposes
of her own, would allow no one to SEE
him but herself.
